MOST POPULAR STANDARD PEARS 
Delicious Fresh from the Tree or Canned 
The Pears we offer have been thoroughly tested and found to be adapted to 
the areas we serve. Selected to furnish fresh fruit from July to January. 
Unfortunately, blight has prevented more extensive Pear culture. This is now 
being overcome with New Blight-resistant Orient. 
NEW ORIENT BLIGHT-RESISTANT PEAR 
Crossing Chinese and European strains produces a blight-resistant Pear of good quality, 
adapted to areas where blight makes others impossible. Large, vigorous trees bearing 
enormous crops. Round, yellowish background with red blush. Juicy, melting, mild, sub- 
acid flavor. Creamy white flesh. Excellent for canning. Late August. If troubled with 
Pear blight, we recommend New Orient. 
We quote the following from the Progressive Farmer: “’The Orient Pear seems to be 
one of the very few almost entirely immune to blight. Its fruit—fresh or canned—is 
excellent. As it does not pollinate itself very well, plant one Kieffer for each four to six 
Orients.”
